+sqrt%2812x%29+%2B+2sqrt%28x%29+%2B+sqrt%2850x%29+
First thing to do is to simplify the roots. We'll do them one at a time
+sqrt%2812x%29+=+sqrt%282%2A2%2A3%2Ax%29+=+2sqrt%283x%29+
+2sqrt%28x%29+ already simplified
+sqrt%2850x%29+=+sqrt%285%2A5%2A2%2Ax%29+=+5sqrt%282x%29+
+2sqrt%283x%29+%2B+2sqrt%28x%29+%2B+5sqrt%282x%29+
Since none of the values under the roots are alike ... it is simplified.
